My main money sink... errr... ‘hobby’ is guitars. Sure, I get why you might want to at least consider a $3,500 Gibson 335 on a payment plan of 6-12 easy payments at 0%. It’s not my thing, but I can see where it would make sense if you’re really good with your money and can make a little interest in that 6-12 months on…

Joe could always be bought.  That’s the thing everyone has been missing for almost 2 years now.  

And of course the flipside for this trope....

Cool story bro!

It’s just such a dumb attitude, to think it’s a ‘tax on people who don’t understand math’. If you’ll drop $12 to go see a movie, then you’re, also a person who doesn’t understand math. Or if you’ll buy a record. Or a work of pop culture fiction. Or a video game.  If you don’t value escapism time, then anything that…

It’s 100% a dick move 100% of the time to stop all over your friend’s feelings even if no one else is involved. In the case of sex, if your friend has any sort of emotional attachment to their ex - no matter the gender of the ex - then you’re a dick for screwing with your friend’s feelings to get your rocks off.

That’s certainly a fair point.

High school.  College.  Graduate school.  Professional working age.  Retirement.  Doesn’t matter how old you are or how rich you are, if you you have sex with a friend’s ex, don’t get too shocked if you have an ex-friend as at least one of the outcomes.  

Legally, sure. But I don’t care who you are... if you don’t clear that sort of thing with your friend, it makes you an asshole. There’s no law against being an asshole, but it still makes it completely reasonable that you now have an ex-friend who calls you an asshole.

Shanahan is, of course, free to do whatever she wants and you’re right, she didn’t engage in anything particularly immoral (“on a break” logic not withstanding).

Holy crap!! I never even considered this for my MGB!  I have the same headless system as you.  I put a kenwood marine amp with bluetooth under my seat and a speaker box on the back shelf.  This would do wonders in the stereo slot, which I’ve just put a blank in for now.  

I considered it in the vague hope it would resolve an ongoing issue I have my my car stereo.  The bluetooth always defaults to turning shuffle off.  There’s no way to enable it other than use voice commands.  That happens anytime you shut the engine off.  The bluetooth issues the command to Spotify and if I change it…

Ford Taurus SHO.  Simple, somewhat elegant, and has good pickup and go to it.  It’s got a proper trunk that’ll hold almost anything you can reasonably expect a sedan trunk to hold.  It’s comfortable, roomy, but shockingly fun to drive.  

Pink Floyd’s “Wish You Were Here” has “Shine On You Crazy Diamond”... CLEARLY Pink Floyd’s, nah, prog rock’s BEST song of all past and future time, as well as any alternative timelines that may or may not exist.

Take solace (totally not the right word... ‘inevitable dread’?) in knowing the Republicans aren’t exactly ‘4D Chess’ levels of smart and more ‘blunt force instruments of evil’. This isn’t a “play into their hands” because they’ll grab anything they can grab to force their will on the world. We can’t outthink or…

Now bump it up a notch and get yourself 2 slices of white bread.  Put butter on both slices, put the hot chips in between’em, and make yourself a sandwhich!

Think of Snyder’s version like this. If Whedon’s version was a shit sandwich on week old toast, Snyder’s is a shit hoagie/sub/grinder (whatever you call it in your area) with fresh bread and a nice horseradish sauce. Sure, it’s technically better in so far as a couple of ingredients are demonstrably superior, but it’s…

the problem for Democrats in 2009-2010 was not the problem Democrats have today, which is that of the one marginal vote.

It’s both.  And you can be tired of having to hate, too.  

Nope. It’s a Mazda... Zoom zoom!
